  • Hollywood star Damian Lewis, renowned for hit series like Homeland and Billions, once embarked on a journey across Europe with nothing but a tent, a guitar and a dream of becoming the next Elvis. Now, after decades of silver screen success and a tough couple of years that reminded him ‘life’s too short’, he’s revisiting his childhood rockstar dreams. He joins us in-studio to tell us about putting down the scripts and picking up the microphone stand as he continues his UK tour.

    He is a fantastic actor. I have the complete "Band of Brothers" series on DVD, and I've watched it more times than I am able to recall. If you are able to get access to the complete series, I highly recommend you watch it. It's a truly excellent production.

      I first saw him in the late 90's in "Warriers" a BBC 2 part series set during the Bosnian war. He, along with many young talented actors who went on to have international careers, play soldiers in a UN Peacekeeping force. It not only shows the demands and constraints of their role in the conflict but how it impacts their lives back home. It remains one of the best productions I have seen, superbly directed, amazing cinematography and sublime acting by all the cast. Not an easy watch, but it will leave a profound impression on you.

    Although an admirable sentiment doing what you love is really something restricted to people with real talent and people who've actually found what they love.Unfortunately most people don't really love anything and if they do they don't really have the talent to be able to make a living from it or have enough money to take a break from their work to pursue a passion project.

      It's not even about having "real talent" -- it's about: someone needs to fill the pothole in front of Damian's home, and it's not going to be Damian. Society would cease to function if we all just did "what we love."

      Hollywood Star and British actor or actress is two different things and not related to each other. You can British and work on American projects. The same as Emily Blunt or Tom Hardy, Chrlie Hunnam do. They are all British actors and at the same time Hollywood Stars, because their main filming industry is in US. Also Hollywood is known for filming production studios, that’s why it’s always referred to Hollywood. Britain doesn’t have this sort of meaning. Nobody says, he or she is a Pinewood or Leicester Square star.
